I'm sorry that he didn't crack it, as it would have made for a much better
recording wouldn't it?
But you know what they say, no sense, no feeling. I crease up each time I
hear it.
Anyway, mic I use is Superlux E522/B, £49 ex vat from solid state sound.
It weighs a ton, so could double up as a hammer as well as producing
passable recordings.
The Sony external I use is a lot lighter and smaller.

Hi Tony, which Superlux mic were you using? I was looking at the UK
distributor's website today and they've got a comprehensive range,
instrument and vocal mics, both dynamics and condensers. As the Olympus
wouldn't have phantom power I take it the mic you were using was a
condenser. I'd like to check them out. I couldn't use my current mics, as
they're Neumann U87's and need phantom power. When I've used them with the
PTR1 to do recordings I've had to run them through the VoiceWorks Plus. The
only two dynamics I have are instrument mics, not vocal mics, and in all
cases have XLR.
Incidentally, I hope your brother-in-law's ok. He didn't half hit that
door. I'd be amazed if he didn't crack it.
John.
